Brutal Men.

The law is not severe enough On a
brute, in the shape of man, who will
attempt to strike his wife. Besides
the one reported in the police court
yesterday morning, the BAzoo has
learned of another man, standing
higher in society, perhaps, than the
colored fend, yet in the eyes of all
respectable citizens he is equal to, if
not more degraded, than the former.
This class of men should be tarred
and feathered and rode out of town
ON a rail, full of splinters.

An UnIucky Leap.

About $50 yesterday evening
James Banks, an employee of the Sc
dalia Glass Novelty company, left the
scene of his labors, for his home ON
East Howard street. He proceeded
but short distance, when a freight
train came along, and in attempting
to climb ON, missed his hold and fell
with his left leg under the wheels
cutting it off just above the ankle.
The hospital wagon was summoned,
which conveyed the unfortunate
young man to his home. The acct
dent happened in the Missouri Pacific
yards, short distance from the switch
house.

Salvation Music Makers.

The Salvation army have added sew
eral new musical instruments to their
excellent choir. The most important
one is Major Peckham's banjo, which
in his hands does credit to the enter
ment. The "dude" who walks on his
heels, occupies the position of choris-
ter and crowns himself with glory,
each night. The sleeper sawed off
his usual grist of unharmonious strains
last night, and seems determined to
make violinist of himself at some fu-
ture time.

The ARABIAN Nights" opened TO a large
and appreciasive audience last night. The
good points of the show were warmly ap.
plauded, and the parts which fell below
the average wero passed unnoticed. As a
spectacular production the performance Is
highly entertaining and presents some very
creditable features. Beyond the brilliant
stage pictures, which follow each other in
rapid succession, the show ls not especially
striking. The dialogue has some bright
epots In II, but is constructed with very
mc,gre reference to the story. The most
noteworthy features OF the ballet were the
dancing OF Mile. Bonfanti, the Dolls
Quadrille aud the Tartar Dance by Mile.
Dorst and Mons. Oreste. The company has
very little to say or do, the dialogue aud
action OF the play being below what might
DC expected even OF a spectacular perform

the audience.

West Washington.

Old landmarks are fast disappearing
In the private quarter OF West Washington,
In obedience to the inexorable fat Of pro-
gress. Houses that were once considered
models Of architecture, comfort, and even
elegance, are now found to be utterly inad-
equate for present requirements. Many Of
these old homesteads date back to the last
century and bear unmistakable evidence OF
the old English style so prevalent at that
time. Many Of these are either being torn
down or completely remodeled.
